A More plausible Gernsback TL

Okay, most people are familiar with the Gurnsack TL. It's basically the World of Tomorrow... in 1960. A World Science Council is building a city on the ocean, energy is broadcast,tanks have particle beam cannons, etc.

It's got a fair number of neat concepts that, IMO, aren't especially implausible.

Among them:

-A more stable Weimar State
-Greater scientific development
-Saner Japanese militarists (who basically consolidate in Manchuria and Northern China)
-A European war against Stalin.

And of course, some ugliness; a surviving Fascist Italy, a Communist Spanish Republic, and delayed decolonizatoin.

Thoughts?

Well, a more stable Weimar Republic can be arranged. Get rid of Hitler early (maybe he dies in World War I?), Karl Jarres deciding to participate the 1925 elections (see SteveW's ''Jarres goes for it'' TL) and so on.

Your idea sounds interesting, I'm looking forward for the first post:).
